has vowed to come back stronger in an emotional open letter after missing his penalty in England’s Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy, also thanking the majority of fans for their support after he was racially abused following the game.
The Manchester United forward – who has raised millions for charity during the pandemic and forced a government U-turn over free school meals – was subbed on deep into extra-time specifically to take a spot-kick, but the usually nerveless striker dragged his shot against the outside of the post. Teammates Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka also saw their efforts saved and the trio were all subjected to vile racist abuse on social media afterwards, while a mural of Rashford was defaced – though the abusive graffiti was later covered with supportive messages and pictures.
‘I don’t even know where to start and I don’t even know how to put into words how I’m feeling at this exact time,’ he wrote on social media on Monday evening. ‘I’ve had a difficult season, I think that’s been clear for everyone to see and I probably went into that final with a lack of confidence.‘I’ve always backed myself for a penalty but something didn’t feel quite right. During the run up I was saving myself a bit of time and unfortunately the result was not what I wanted.‘A penalty was all I’d been asked to contribute for the team.
Skills win in football game. Italian goal keeper was concentrating only on keeping the ball away from goal net; then pass the ball to other players of his team. English goal keeper was doing the same plus kicking the ball far away to any players. In Penalty, only goal keeper won.
